Bona fide’ foundations such as Ford, Rockefeller and Carnegie were considered ‘the best and most plausible kind of funding cover’.
A CIA study of 1966 argued that this technique was ‘particularly effective for democratically run membership organisations, which need to assure their own unwitting members and collaborators, as well as their hostile critics, that they have genuine, respectable, private sources of income’.
Certainly, it allowed the CIA to fund ‘a seemingly limitless range of covert action programs affecting youth groups, labor
unions, universities, publishing houses, and other private institutions’ from the early 1950s.
‘There was a cover branch at CIA whose job it was to help provide cover, like the foundations we used for our operations,’ Braden explained. ‘I paid no attention to the details. The Finance Department would handle it, and talk to the cover officer. It was just a mechanism which you used. The Farfield Foundation was one of them. I don’t know the names of all of them, I can’t remember. But it was a criss-cross of money. There was never any danger of the CIA running out of money.’
The criss-cross of money filtered its way through a raft of host foundations, some acting as fronts, some as conduits.
